even point si x million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, according to the ASPCA.

hat Beth Herrington remembers most about the eight months her daughter spent in the hospital wasn’t the tests, or the chemotherapy, or even the bad days; rather, it was watching her two-year-old dance through it all. “Chloe would have a 105-degree fever and still be dancing,” she recalls, adding that doctors and nurses were stunned by her daughter’s upbeat attitude. “They’d come into her room just to forget about the stress of their day,” Beth says with a laugh. Chloe was born with Down’s syndrome, a genetic condition that unfortunately made

WHAT’S IN
SEASON? Heirloom Tomatoes
P
lacerGROWN heirloom tomatoes, which are commonly mistaken as vegetables, bring a variety of color to your local farmers’ market and serve as a flavorful addition to any summer dish. 12 stylergbr.com - August 2016
SELECTION AND STORAGE When selecting a high-quality heirloom tomato, seek ones with a rich tomato aroma at the blossom (opposite of the stem end) and that feel heavy for their size. Don’t be discouraged by a few cracks, scrapes or bruises, as these are common characteristics in heirloom tomatoes (although these natural imperfections often cause a shorter shelf life than other tomato types). After purchase, avoid the urge to keep heirloom tomatoes in the refrigerator; it can cause the flesh to turn mealy and be less flavorful. If heirloom tomatoes are stored at room temperature and out of sunlight, they can be enjoyed for up to two days after purchase. Once the tomatoes have been cut, it’s best to store them in the warmest section of the refrigerator for two days. — Carol Arnold For details on where to buy Placer County farmfresh produce, wine, meat and other products, visit placergrown.org and foothillfarmersmarket. com.
ask the expert Q: Is it safe to exercise after
having lap band surgery? Is there anything I should be worried about?
A:
Exercise is not only safe but also encouraged after lap band surgery. The lap band is positioned internally around the stomach to control hunger and portion sizes. The system is adjusted by adding fluid to a small port, which is implanted deep under the skin and secured to the abdominal wall muscle. There is no risk of band dislocation or damage— even with high-impact exercise or vigorous sports. At times, the port may become transiently tender, especially if doing core exercises, but it should be mild and resolve q uickly (simila r to h ow a so re muscle recovers after exercise). I have seen many patients excel with their health transformations after lap band surgery and actively run marathons, participate in extreme sports, and even compete in fitness competitions. —Laura L. Machado, MD, FACS, FASMBS Medical Director, Sacramento Bariatric Medical Associates Director of Bariatric Services, Mercy San Juan Medical Center 5769 Greenback Lane, Suite 1 Sacramento 916-338-7200, sacbar.com
DID YOU KNOW? The heirloom tomato varietal dates back to the 1940s, when the seeds from the previous year were saved and passed down from one gardening generation to the next—hence the name “heirloom.” As a result, the tomatoes have a rich genetic biodiversity, which finds its expression in a multitude of odd shapes, diverse colors and intense flavors. These tomatoes are loaded with vitamins A, C and K, as well as minerals, fibers and potassium, which all work to support cardiovascular health and strong bones. Each tomato contains the powerful antioxidant lycopene, helping to reduce the risk of certain cancers. The rich, juicy flavor and butterlike texture of an heirloom tomato are best enjoyed when eaten fresh. They are also the perfect addition to salads and pasta dishes.

Nixtaco
I
pushed the door at Nixtaco, Roseville’s latest taqueria, but it was “pull.” This was the only dissatisfying part of my experience here; between the friendly ambiance, genuine service and authentic quality, this locale has a bright future. The establishment keeps their interior simple and open—an industrial concrete floor connects the open seating to the kitchen, and only a bar and register counter separate the staff from the customers, an intimacy that masters the only environment a taqueria should have: pure, honest and comfortable. And don’t be fooled by the short menu—while its brevity conveniently takes the pressure off of ordering on the spot, each item packs a distinct punch of flavor. With that, a knockout choice for first-timers is the Street Taco Sampler Plate, which includes six, two-bite mini tacos—each stuffed with your choice of beef, shrimp, pork, chicken or vegetables—all for $9. Within five minutes, before I could hardly enjoy the complimentary chips and salsa, the plate was before me. Every other mouthful followed a unique sensual journey, and as I finished, the meal had turned into an experience. My personal favorite, the pork belly taco with tart red onions pickled in lime juice, left my taste buds anxiously awaiting their next trip to Nixtaco…where I’ll surely be ordering the large version.

The year Roseville first purchased the 30-acre site of the Maidu Museum and Historic Site for $100 per acre from the federal government.

Number of people employed during the heyday of the Rocklin Roundhouse—located near Crossroads Church at the intersection of Front Street and Rocklin Road. It was built in 1867 and housed 25 engine bays, a turntable and an 8,000-square-foot woodshed. The Rocklin Roundhouse closed in 1908 when the facility was moved to Roseville.

Number of people who attended the first Crossroads Church service, held at Finn Hall in 1983. After a fire gutted the second floor of the then-vacant Trott Hotel on Front Street, Crossroads Church took it as a sign and moved it in 1987, giving the now 148-year-old hotel a new (some might say divine) lease on life.
“Though not typically thought of as a ‘cheap’ place to dine, the Happy Hour at Paul Martin’s American Grill is super wallet-friendly—and tasty, too. Served daily from 3-7 p.m., my go-to is the $5 Meyer Lemon Drop and scratch-made small bites (like Smoked Chicken & Wings and Smoked Salmon Lettuce Cups).” paulmartinsamericangrill.com

“The Shrimp Burrito at Los Cabos Grill is about as big around as the trunk of a young tree and is crammed with beans, shrimp, rice and cheese.

pam berry Material Girl by Heather L. Becker
A
s the fiber art curator for the Art League of Lincoln—and a loyal member of the nonprofit—Pam Berry creates colorful and intricate wall hangings using a variety of materials, including silk, paper, cotton, beading and paints. “I’m open to all techniques and consider them to be just tools in my toolbox; you don’t want to know too much about a technique or you become a slave to the process,” Berry confides. “It’s better to know just enough to use it and then work your way out of problems.” Berry will be the curator for the Art League’s upcoming fiber art show, Expect the Unexpected, from October 5-29.
HLB: How did you discover fiber art? PB: I came from a traditional quilting background; my mother sewed and my mother-in-law and several friends quilted. I loved the patterns and colors, but after a few years I wanted to work with my own designs. It was then I discovered art quilting, which allowed me to use almost any technique or embellishment.
classes, I like to try things on my own. Classes are a great place to begin, but I find them ultimately disappointing because my work ends up mimicking the instructor’s style, not mine. I was once told to go home, work and discover my own style and expression. Q

HLB: What inspires you? PB: Color for me seems to have a type of texture, so fabric was the perfect medium. I like the fact that fabric will often read differently depending on the placement, quantity and light. The color movement equals eye movement in a piece and is a design goal for artists. You have to keep the eye moving, and the change of color and texture does that.

LB: You assert that failures are your friend. How so? PB: Mistakes often end up becoming the best of all your efforts for the day. This not only is an idea for my art, but I think for all of life. A mistake or failure is when you quit. I’ve discovered that I need to keep working at the problem, be willing to solve it in new ways, and stray from my original vision.

HLB: Are there any artist groups that have been beneficial to your craft? PB: Many groups have helped me on my creative path, but the biggest growth came from Mountain Art Quilt. They are an exciting group with generous attitudes when it comes to sharing their talents and knowledge. One’s confidence as an artist is very tender when you first start, and this group’s positive encouragement was just what I needed.

artbeat HLB: Do you find that there are complications with not-somainstream mediums? PB: The obvious one is “fine art” vs. “craft.” It’s artificial, but as an artist and entrepreneur, you need to be aware of the words you use to describe not only your
art, but yourself too. It’s important that I’m considered an artist and not a craft person. Traditional quilters often don’t consider their own efforts to be art and see competition between quilters and fiber art. It’s sad and creates a division where there shouldn’t be.

your best self A Guide to Life Coaching by Tara Mendanha
W
ho here doesn’t want the perfect day, the perfect job and the all-round perfect life? You don’t have to ask me twice! It may have started out as a trend, but life coaching seems to have gained a lot of momentum recently. From Oprah Winfrey to Metallica, celebrities have been using this resource to tap into their best selves for years. But what is it really? By talking
to a few local experts in the field, I found that the concept is quite nuanced.
Why is it useful? “Coaching addresses obstacles that have kept us stuck, as it empowers forward action toward making long-term behavior changes,” says Heather Penny, Ph.D., professional coach, and president and founder of Arise & Be in Roseville. Carmil Surritt, life coach in Placerville, adds: “Einstein said, ‘The mind that created the problem cannot solve it’…as coaches, we’re listening and asking questions to help a client work past limiting beliefs. We do not know what is best for the client—the client does—and we help them hold themselves accountable to the action steps they
COLOR YOUR WORLD Mindful Coloring Box, a monthly subscription box that was created by Jenifer Novak Landers—Folsom-based life coach, art teacher, graphic designer, creativity consultant, and the list goes on…—invites you to unplug, meditate and nourish your soul by bringing out your inner Picasso. Every month brings a different themed box (“Gratitude,” for example) that’s filled with premium art supplies, a coloring project folder (two cards and envelopes, four postcards and a variety of frame-worthy art projects) and a 32-page “Guided Meditation Coloring Book”—all aimed to help you build deeper self-awareness and inspiration, increase problem-solving skills, sharpen your focus and open perspectives.

26 stylergbr.com - August 2016
determine.” So in effect, life coach equals part coach, part cheerleader.
Who does it benefit? How does one know if they need a counselor or coach? “In an oversimplified nutshell, counseling is the process of looking backwards and resolving past issues; coaching is the process of looking forward and identifying what holds us
back in order to gain forward momentum in achieving life goals,” says Penny. There are various types of life coaches who follow different processes and have their own set of tools. From financial and family coaches, to mental health and wellness coaches, there’s someone for everyone. Chris Wagner, esthetician and owner of Advanced Skin Solutions in Fair Oaks, as well as a new thought practitioner, focuses on the spiritual aspect of life coaching. “Spiritual practitioner is akin to life coaching…however, spiritual work goes deeper. This is a lifelong journey, a gradual and progressive movement toward spiritual maturity,” she says.
When should you hire one? Life coaching seems to address a host of issues pertaining to…well, life. Achieving goals, pushing limits, finding your voice, making better decisions or starting a new career are all reasons to get a coach. Like Surritt says, “I have clients from age 11 to age 76; they’re people confused about the direction and choices they are facing, parents struggling with teenagers, executives looking for balance in their life, and retirees who still want to make an impact on the world.”

The “how” Sessions typically last an hour or less, and can be needed from four days up to two years, according to Surritt. In a nutshell, each session typically involves a conversation to check how the client is progressing toward their goal and what they need t o d o n ex t . Wa g n e r ’s approach is to give clients the tools and techniques to naturally attract what they’re seeking, often using affirmations and meditation, while Penny uses the co-active model of coaching, where coach a n d c l i e n t a re a c t i ve c o l l a b o ra t o r s f o c u s e d on the client’s agenda, while concentrating on the “three Cs”: clarity, confidence and courage. Success is measured by an increased sense of selfworth, accomplishments in specific areas of life and an overall increase in happiness. “The goal is to have the client discover their unique combination of gifts and talents, unlock their passion to make their lives blossom and in some way contribute more to their families and communities,” says Surritt. For Wagner, success is measured by how peaceful clients become and how they respond to life’s situations.
What now? “Find a coach who fits your goals, your personality and your style of relating. Interview coaches until you find one that validates what you are looking for and how you want to move forward…only you can determine what you need and want,” says Penny. And once you do, you could come close to acing life. “When clients choose coaching, they get about 90 percent of what they are wanting, and it stays with them,” shares Surritt. “It’s all about making this world a more loving and kinder place,” says Wagner.
RETREAT TO BLISS I had the good fortune of attending one of Arise & Be’s day-long retreats this spring, titled: Explore Your Voice. In a quiet corner of Roseville, a group of women gathered for what would turn out to be a liberating experience for some and an enlightening one for others. Me? I soaked up and enjoyed every second. From the bag of goodies and sumptuous lunch, to surprisingly deep conversations and hands-on crafts, the care and attention to detail that went into everything—including individual place settings and the day’s materials—had me hooked from beginning to end. I got to make my own “voice canvas,” while sitting under the shade of stoic trees. Using colorful hexagon-shaped tissue paper, we were taught to make a decoupage canvas and cover it with words that represented the best version of ourselves. My canvas called me “empathetic,” “gifted” and “self-aware.” We went through exercises that pondered spaces within us and among us, spiritual intelligence, strength and sensitivity, and finding and developing an inner voice. Heather guided us through the day with her gentle demeanor and graceful way, leading us from one thought to another in a seamless process that felt like one long, soothing lullaby. Michaela, Sharon and Meredith, co-founders of Arise & Be, buddied up to the group in a heartbeat and were beacons of light through group discussions, lunch and in between. The strangers we’d been to each other at the beginning of the day were now supporters and confidants, knowing not only each other’s names, but heartaches and burning desires too. Every woman that day left with an unwavering voice, a peaceful glow about her—and a brownie, of course. Arise & Be offers a range of retreats, a lively podcast, and as of recently, an e-course on The Clarity Process. For more info, visit ariseandbe.com/events.

placer veterans stand down Serving a Community of Heroes by Bill Romanelli photos by Dante Fontana
E
ven as a highly trained and educated physician, it still took Dr. Michael Luszczak nearly five years to adjust to civilian life after serving 20 years in the U.S. Army as an artillery officer and (later) a physician in the Iraq War. “Not everyone has the resources, education or opportunities I did,” Dr. Luszczak says. “Lots of veterans find it challenging to go from an environment of serving the mission—something greater than yourself—to the sometimes alienating culture we have in modern society.” Most veterans make the adjustment with no trouble, but for those who struggle most, homelessness and the challenges that come with it are a far too common problem. Not all of them are “on the street” so to speak, but many are right on the edge—couch surfing or living in their cars. It’s estimated that 20 percent of the homeless are veterans, and it’s for them that “Stand Down” events were created—modeled after the “Stand Down” concept used during the Vietnam War to provide a safe place for units returning from combat operations. In these areas, battle-weary troops could relax, take care of personal hygiene, get clean uniforms, enjoy warm meals and enjoy the camaraderie of friends. Intended to provide the same kind of atmosphere and services for homeless veterans, at Placer Veterans Stand Down— held over three days last May—more than 400 veterans gathered to take advantage of the free services and support offered by a literal army of volunteers. These included medical, dental, eye and ear exams and services; vaccinations, veterinary services, L to R: Sue computer access, showers, haircuts, three meals a day and a Bartholomew, place to sleep at night. In addition, more than two-dozen other Melissa organizations were on hand to help veterans connect with housing, Washington, Matthew Archer Veterans Administration, legal counseling, DMV assistances and and Dr. Michael other resources. Luszczak Dr. Luszczak says it’s impossible to put a price tag on the value of services provided or the staff hours that go into making the event happen. “The value of what these veterans receive over the
30 stylergbr.com - August 2016
three days is easily into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Dr. Luszczak says. “That’s to say nothing of the countless hours volunteers put in before, during and after the event.” Consider that this is just one of hundreds of Stand Down events that happen around the country (mostly in the fall), and it’s easy to see a tremendous need exists. Dr. Luszczak says his group moved their event from fall to spring specifically because no other events are available then. Looking ahead, his group wants to make Stand Down services more sustainable—so veterans can be helped more than once a year—a goal that’s going to take volunteers as much as anything else. “We’re interested in anyone who can offer their time and talents as a volunteer, as well as whatever can be offered or donated to help feed and clothe and shelter these men and women throughout the year.”

all in a day’s work Creating a Home Office Haven: 6 Tips by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID
1 / Let the Light In Nothing inspires us more than a sundrenched space. If your room gets great natural light, use it! Frame your windows with curtains that you can draw should the space get too bright, and choose a fanciful overhead light like a chandelier if your office is go-getter-glam, a table lamp perched on your desk, or a floor lamp in the corner to highlight your accolades on the wall.
2 / Invest in the Best If you know you’ll be perched at your desk for most of the day, cut yourself some slack and invest in a really great chair or super sturdy desk. Opt for an office chair that’s fashionable and functional, ergonomically
correct and comfortable. A durable desk is also a key investment, because you’ll be at it more often than not and it’ll most likely deal with a coffee spill or two.
3 / Take Texture to the Top If you’re looking to create an elegant space to write emails and hold client meetings, look for unique textures that add character to your space, like a natural fiber rug, lacquered tables and textured wallpaper. Anyone can create a cookie-cutter cubicle, but by adding texture to your home office you elevate its style from drab to fab.
4 / Tame Technology One of the only obstacles we ever run into when curating a home office space is what to do with all of the necessary accessories that accompany our favorite pieces of technology. While you can’t necessarily beautify a printer, you
can certainly mask its messiness. Many organizational or office stores now carry cord covers to help disentangle cords, headphones and tech accessories, allowing you to work more efficiently in a less cluttered space.
5 / Make it Efficient Home offices are a hybrid—they need to be work-appropriate and have homey elements sprinkled throughout, and because most aren’t swimming in square footage, it’s imperative to use each nook and cranny efficiently. For instance, don’t just put storage on the floor in the form of file cabinets or bookcases; instead, install floating shelves, hooks and other wall accessories that will help make your space less cluttered and more work-friendly.
6 / Get Inspired When it’s 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon, the very last thing you want to be doing is editing a business proposal or answering emails. To help bolster your enthusiasm and finish those last little tasks, add inspiration to your space via pictures, art, colors or anything else you love. A few cherished knick-knacks or accessories will help remind you why you’re there and what you’re working toward.

t’s raining cats and dogs (and other creatures, too!) in this month’s pet pictorial. “Paws” for a moment to drool over these local animal companions and learn the tales behind the tails.

People & their
Pets
MIKA WITH DANIELLE (HUMAN) KASSIDY
“Kassidy is an excellent huntergatherer and enjoys collecting hair elastics and dropping them into her water bowl. She also enjoys chasing lizards and meowing at birds.”— Stephanie Caracristi DARCI AND OLIVER
CHUBBS
“Maya loves to go to the dog park, but when she gets too hot from running with the other dogs she likes to cool down in the tub used for the dog’s drinking water. Once she has cooled down, she jumps out and is off playing again.”—Faith Hodkin MAYA
“Chubbs is a one-year-old, very silly girl who knows how to shake her head, ‘no’ and open doors with her paws. She can be very shy and retreat to her crate, but once she likes you she is a lap bulldog!”—Jennifer Adona 38 stylergbr.com - August 2016
Mika with Danielle (human)-Photo by Æ Photography.
“Darcy (sable colored) and Oliver (mostly black) love to play together, especially at the lake or with a ball!”— Rebecca Meeker
“Mika is only four-and-half pounds, the runt of her litter, but rules our household. She is a spunky, feisty two-year-old princess. She loves wrestling, snuggling and playing tug of war with her big brother Mohan (maltipoo), and will protect him against any dog—no matter its size. She is an avid climber of everything, from the living room couch to large boulders on hiking trails, and even up on a human’s shoulders, just loving to get a bird’s eye view whenever she can. Her name means beautiful, intelligent and raccoon in Japanese and Native American, and she’s the perfect combination of all three traits.”—Danielle Murphy
MAKS WITH KYLEE (HUMAN)
HOOVER AND KIRBY
“Maks is two years old. He and our daughter Kylee love to go on road trips to the beach!”—Kari McKinley
“Hoover and Kirby are brothers and were named after vacuum cleaners (when they were kittens they scarfed their food so quickly and left their plates clean). Their breed is called ‘flame point,’ due to the orange markings on their ears and tails.”— Bettie Grijalva
CHLOE
“Chloe truly is a happy and loving dog. She’s quirky, loyal and pretty funny! Chloe loves the water, loves her snacks and she’s the happiest when she’s chasing a tennis ball!” —Siobhán Russell Pritt
RUCA
“Ruca was rescued from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento and is known around the neighborhood as ‘the friendly dog.’”—Jessica Martelle
MOZZARELLA BRODY
“Brody lives in Roseville and is an English cream golden retriever. He’s under a year and still a puppy. He loves the water, camping, chewing on everything and long walks on the beach.”—Selma Arney
“Mozzarella, ‘Motzi’ for short, is a cuddle bug who loves people and going for walks downtown with her dad. She is always happy, hungry and hilarious, and her sweet face has gotten us through many ups and downs. We consider ourselves lucky to be her human parents!”—Jeff and Annie Hodges

HENRY
LADY
“Henry is a Tibetan terrier (or terror!). He’s a cute little guy, but has a mind of his own!”—LeeAnn Dickson
“This is Lady. She belongs to me, the owner of Cochrane & Wagemann, Funeral Directors in Roseville. I adopted her when both her owners died within a few days of each other. She now meets with families, comforts them and gives them all the love she can.”—Doug Wagemann

“Jack is my best buddy. He’s a mellow cat that takes everything in stride.”— Stephanie Montgomery

“Paris is our oldest Pomeranian—she will be 14 in October. She’s had epilepsy since she was six months old, but has never let that stop her from living a happy, normal life. She’s the sweetest little teddy bear and full of so much energy. She does this little happy dance when she’s throwing around a toy or when she’s trying to tell us she wants something—it’s hilarious! Kota, our youngest, is a one-and-a-halfyear-old mix of Pomeranian, shiba inu and Yorkie. Her high energy keeps us on our toes. She has a little snaggle tooth that shows when she smiles, which is pretty much all the time. Her sweet personality and kisses make our hearts melt.”—Tricia and Jesse Cassotta

here are always a few precious months in a restaurant’s early days when none of the chairs or tables wobble and all of the menu corners are perfectly flat. Don’t get me wrong, there’s charm to an eatery that’s been around the block for a while, but the neat freak in me really enjoys the fresh feel of a brand new dining room, and La Fiesta’s doesn’t disappoint. Celebrating their grand opening just one day after Cinco de Mayo, they’ve kept the party going, and the food (and alcohol) flowing.
Filled with grilled shrimp and roasted poblano chiles—the tacos were perfectly smoky and nicely complemented by super fluffy rice and refried beans. Tacos Gobernador
Their menu is relatively small, but it feels more like it’s been well curated than prematurely cut off. As soon as we were seated, a heaping basket of warm tortilla chips with a side of pico de gallo, mediumheat salsa and bean dip arrived. We decided to start with the Queso Fundido, because how c a n yo u g o w ro n g with baked cheese on chorizo? The rich, ultrahot appetizer was served with warm tortillas, and though we thoroughly enjoyed it, that much cheese would be just perfect for a table of four (or even six), as opposed to just the two of us. I’m absolutely crazy Queso Fundido about tacos, so I knew right away the Tacos Gobernador (“Governor” in English) were for me.

The plate also came with beans, red rice, chunky guacamole, a side of salsa and lightly grilled tortillas. Despite all of my culinary adventures, I haven’t eaten much flan, so we had to try it.

The dense custard dessert, served in a hefty slice, sat amongst a pool of light caramel sauce. Talk about a fiesta in my mouth.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Pro Dynamic Physical Therapy Inc. is an outpatient clinic that treats people of all ages and ability levels. We specialize in rehabilitation of chronic and acute injuries, post-surgical repairs, gait and balance training, as well as sports agility and conditioning. The company was founded with the purpose of allotting more time for patient care to maximize rapport and results. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? I worked a 12-hour night shift at a manufacturing plant for a summer job. I already knew I wanted to be a physical therapist and that job further fortified my desire to become one. My dad always told me, “Work with your brain, not with your back.” What’s your biggest job perk? Knowing that my skills are helping people recover from physical impairments inspires me to continue to provide high-quality care. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? There’s too many to choose just one. My wife and I enjoy dining at Farmhaus, Manderes, Scott’s Seafood Restaurant, and Sutter Street Steakhouse. Our favorite watering hole is Doyle’s Pub and Taproom. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We enjoy taking our dog Bella on hikes to Folsom Lake and the American River. What’s your favorite local event that you go to? Being an avid cyclist and competitive CAT4 road racer, the Amgen Tour of California is my favorite. The event attracts many of the biggest names in the sport and is a lot of fun to experience. If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? A country music singer. And finally, customer service is…?

Did you find your business, or did it find you? Sandy Stringer After planning events in the corporate industry for several years, it was time for me to figure something out on my own. Why is your staff the best in the business?

We are the calm in the storm; when the decisions get overwhelming and things get tense, we’re the ones who can keep the big picture in mind and guide you to make smart choices. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? I’m very proud of my family. My two boys make me so happy, and my hubby is just simply the best! Where do you go when the going gets tough? I recently acquired an interest in yoga and love it. It provides a great balance to a hectic life schedule. I also can’t live without the ocean and beach—you will find me STRINGS & CHAMPAGNE there in my happy place multiple times a year. EVENTS What’s your biggest job perk? Roseville I’m always at a party where people celebrate one’s most important day in their life, and I love 916-397-9346 meeting new people and learning from them. strings-champagne.com What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Paul Martin’s American Grill for dinner and Baagan for lunch. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

Whole Food’s weekly market as well as Wine Down Wednesday at Vernon Street Town Square. And finally, customer service is…? I live and breathe it and base a lot of my decisions upon it. You can get products anywhere, but if you get the right service—it’s the way to go. It keeps everybody happy!

what the duck? The Maileys Get a Mallard by Tom Mailey
She’s a domestic mallard—larger than her wild brethern, bred not to fly. Her name is Regina. It was going to be Reggie until her feathers all came in brown. My wife calls her “Regilicous.” I pretty much just call her “duck.” I’d never wanted a duck. It was our son’s idea. Sam is 17—the last kid at home. He loves animals; we’ve got two dogs, a cat and a large gray fuzzball of a rabbit named Harrison that roams our yard. But a duck? I’m not sure why Sam set his mind on one, other than he can be a an odd duck himself sometimes. So, we got a duck. But not before learning about them. Having a duck is not something you just go do, unless you’re Old MacDonald and you have a farm. We have a backyard. But it’s sizable, and we found we could meet city regulations for keeping domesticated fowl. We read up about ducks. We asked around and got a lot of helpful advice, which mostly pertained to poop. Apparently, without going into detail, birds have no control over that, and can’t be potty-trained. With a duck, they all noted, it would be wherever, whenever. They were right. Then we found out about duck diapers. Yes, those are a thing. But don’t worry; we were as appalled as you to learn they exist. If going pantsless was good enough for Daffy or Donald, it was going to be good enough for our duck. And the fact is, unless the duck is in the house (which is never since the day she did that on our couch), it isn’t a problem. FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES, So now our backyard VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. has a duck. And you know WHAT’S COMING what? We love her. She NEXT MONTH? waddles around with DON’T MISS STYLE’S her chest puffed out and READERS’ CHOICE head held high with a sort AWARDS: ROUND of regal duck dignity, and 2 “FAVORITE BUSINESSES!” it just makes you smile. 66 stylergbr.com - August 2016
She follows us like a curious web-footed toddler, and has developed a kinship with our dogs and even our cat, whom we’ve caught grooming her (Sam suggests he may actually be tasting her, but we choose not to believe that). Being a duck, Regina does occasionally cut loose with a brief series of startlingly loud quacks that sound not unlike the ragged smoker’s cackle of my late Aunt Gladys. But since our n e i g h b o r s h ave n ’ t broken out any shotguns yet, I’m assuming it’s too brief and infrequent to be annoying. When she is content, which is often, she sings to herself with gentle little squeaks and chirps. She isn’t just ornamental, either: She’s been great for our plants because she’s developed a sweet tooth for snails and slugs. Plus, that duck poop? We filter it from the small pond we dug for her (yes, we dug her a pond) and it is the Best.
Fertilizer. Ever. Seriously. This year’s zuchinni plants look like something out of Jurassic Park. I never thought I’d get a duck, and I cer tainly never thought I would like owning a duck. But I did, and I do. And maybe this is why: Two of our kids are already out of the house. Sam, even though Regina was his idea, will be off to college next year at this time. Maybe the duck, along with the rest of our menagerie, are there to fill the void that’s being left behind by life’s relentless forward progress. If so, I kind of like the idea of combating empty-nester syndrome with an actual bird. So, yeah. We got a duck.
